Hi! I'm sort of new to OS-tans, so I don't know all the history and stuff behind them. I was wondering, however, about the relation of the different characters.
Are all the Windows tans and kuns supposed to be brothers and sisters?
Do the Mac-tans have any relation to each other?
QuoteAre all the Windows tans and kuns supposed to be brothers and sisters?

Well, typically OS's from the same developers are portrayed in families, so yes, the M$-tans are Mac-tans are families.
Though it's not complete yet, the wiki (http://ostan-collections.net/wiki) provides a lot of information on each of the OS-tans, and the OS-tan Annex (http://ostan-collections.net/topic-231.html) will give you basic groupings. (Though, not all of the factions are universally accepted ^^')
QuoteHi! I'm sort of new to OS-tans, so I don't know all the history and stuff behind them.
Don't worry, everyone starts somewhere. If you don't understand something, just ask!
mac-tans have bombs, and M$-tans have negis^ ^
and sometimes NT seems like 2000's mother^ ^
The wikipedia-page says despite the rather big difference in age, the Windows-tans are sisters. I guess the Mac-tans are a family as well. No idea however how the -kuns fit there.
so they say.. but then again they have been potrayed as having relationships before.. not of sibbling nature.. like hacchans crush on Homeo and so forth
Quoteso they say.. but then again they have been potrayed as having relationships before.. not of sibbling nature.. like hacchans crush on Homeo and so forth
That's exactly what I was thinking...How are the kuns related to the tans. I know Mac OS 9-kun is supposed to be Mac-tans brother.
I suppose in the case of the Windows group, being so many of them, they could all be categorized as "Distant Relative," being directly related to only those close in release date (98 and 98SE or Homeo and Homeko)
QuoteI suppose in the case of the Windows group, being so many of them, they could all be categorized as "Distant Relative," being directly related to only those close in release date (98 and 98SE or Homeo and Homeko)
That's what I sort of thought...The XPs, and perhaps 2k and Me-tan seem like a close family (brothers and sisters), due to their system, software and GUI... The 98s, 95s, and 3.1 might be brothers and sisters too...
Also, I was wondering, (besides NT-tan) are there any characters depicted as being mothers or fathers to any of the OS-tans?
i guess not... except nt i could really find nobody as a mother or father of anyother os-tans in my brian -v-
Isn't Unix-sama the mother of all Unix-based-tans?
QuoteAlso, I was wondering, (besides NT-tan) are there any characters depicted as being mothers or fathers to any of the OS-tans?
Not in the canon OS-tans. -v-
As far as they are concerned, what you see is what you get and all they are is one HUGE band of brothers and sisters, with a motherly NT and a token Linux tossed in for good measure. -.-'
As far as emerging ones are concerned, I myself have quite a few.... -.-
QuoteIsn't Unix-sama the mother of all Unix-based-tans?
Precisely. ^___^
If you want to be even more bombastic, you could call her the Mother of All Modern OSes. ^.^
But I guess "Mother" is a very outdated term for Unix-sama, since after living for 40 years she now has children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, great great grand adoptees, and great great grand clones up the wazoo..... -________-;
Quite a prolific old lass -- that's why I want my rendition of her to be uber special. ^^
In addition, we have the following motherly candidates:
- Apple I to all the Apple-tans/Mac-tans
- Windows 1.0 to the non-NT branch of Windows.
- DR-DOS (formerly CP/M) to the x86 DOS-tans
- The original Berkeley Software Distribution to FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc....
- TripOS to Amiga
- Amiga to MorphOS and AROS
- Plan 9 to Inferno
- VMS to Windows NT (shhh, it's a secret...)

-_- remember, you may have bore them onto paper or digital media, but if you want them to become wide spread you cant claim them. Just as no one claims ownership over the other tans and those who did were struck down. Just a thought and reminder.
Tho to claim to be owned by them is another story *runs off to his mistress 3.1samas side*
How the heck did THAT comment turn into an ownership issue? O__o

Gosh...these OS-tans have more mixed bloodlines than a soap-opera character XD
One thing one left out...and forgive me if in my newness I am wrong...wouldn't the Mac OS X's be closer related to Unix and NeXTSTEP than the older Macs...?
Ah yes, I forgot,....
As you say a lot of mixed bloodlines (more than a soap opera! LOL! ^^), so naturally the OSX girls are more deeply related to NeXTSTEP and DarwinOS than with the Mac lineage. (hence being one of those "great great" descendants of UNIX-sama). How deeply related has really been handled by Aurora up until now. ^^'
But as implied before, these are really just ideas for the most part, which are half based on fact, and half on personal preference between mother-daughter or sister-sister respresntations.
Certainly the inclusion of OS-kuns doesn't make it any easier. -v-'
(I can agree that most of them up until now are brothers, but 3.1-kun has always struck me as a husband-figure based on the few depictions paired with 3.1-sama. ^^; )
I wonder if... (and this is just an out-of-the-blue, non-canon thing) BeOS would be the mother of Haiku-tan and ZETA-tan? Perhaps a dis-associated mother, considering the rocky relation between the companies of BeOS and ZETA...
Sounds likely to me!
The Penguin God speaks truth. ^___^

That's exactly what I was thinking...How are the kuns related to the tans. I know Mac OS 9-kun is supposed to be Mac-tans brother.
It's hard to identify their relationship on most times. Remember that the Os-tans are made as a fanon. So there is no "canon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_%28fiction%29)" which can distinguish from the -tans to the -kuns. We all can follow on what a lot of anonymous artist have done before on relationships like Homeo/Homeko or Homeo/Secchan/hacchan scenes, but since it's fanon...anyone, even you can draw and pair any os-kun to any os-tan you wished to.
Maybe the Os-tan's relationship with the Os-kuns could be portrayed as a "tribe", not as close family members.
Now that I look at more pix and stuff, it seems some -kuns are brothers, and some seem (as stated before) more like husband figures. I can't imagine 3.1-kun as being a brother to 3.1-san, for example. 95-kun seems like he might be a husband to 95-san, if only because of the age difference...
98-tan/kun pairings most certainly are siblings. -v-
But I've always wondered,... what the heck are the OSX-kuns to Sonata-san/Mac-san? @___@;
Thinking of them as "brothers' leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, so Alfa's idea of a "tribe" is more comforting. ^^;
Quote from: "Bella"95-kun seems like he might be a husband to 95-san, if only because of the age difference...
Yeah, sometimes the 95's act like that, but in fact, they're brothers. And 95-kun fears 95-san. No one want to face an angry 95-san >_>
QuoteBut I've always wondered,... what the heck are the OSX-kuns to Sonata-san/Mac-san? @___@;
I've never given much thought to the OSX-kuns. At all. They've (sorry to any fans) always been a bunch of generic dudes in loincloths to me, and they've never seemed as interesting as level-headed ME-kun, businessman 2k-tan, or quite Mac 9-kun.

Just from what I've heard o_o
There are Anonymous artist before that heavily suggested some "incest pairings" on an os-kun and os-tan being those two represent the same OS such as:
2k-san and 2k-kun
Homeo and Homeko
ME-kun and Me-tan (Me-tan likes ME-kun, but I haven't see anything like Me-kun likes her back)

I'm not sure at the OSX-kuns either, but I would really like to suggest the idea of being "tribe" to them.
(a little off topic) C, do you remember the part in the Mac Manga where Sonata's chest got "inflated". One from the OSX -kuns have the guts to approached Sonata to say sorry and cheer her up and gave her a little present. Talk about generics! That means one of them is not like the other 4 rather he was just heavily influenced by his brothers.
I'm not sure if that's Puma-kun...all I know is one of 'em.
Quote from: "C-Chan"OS9-kun, on the other hand.... awww yeah, that's a guy with character. ^.^
1UP for ya!
(another off topic) Do you think that OS9-kun is not in the Mac Manga is because his character would be either quiet and stale or be glorified that it could overshadow the OSX-kuns? I really thought of OS9-kun being there as the one who handles their resources, be reliable and responsible and be a leader and has the control of the whole household.
I could really imagine if the author included him, he could be kicking those OSX-kuns' butts whenever they tried to do a preverted approach LOL! So therefore there would be no fanservice in that manga, so maybe thats why the author didn't include him there.
I'm not the most knowledgeable person 'bout cr@pples, but I fink he just doesn't want to lower himself to their level. -w-

In any event, the OSX girls aren't in the manga because they were likely drawn before the Mac Manga was started (and besides, the OSX-kuns and Mac-tan presumably take their place). On the other hand, it's probable that OS9-kun was drawn before or during the Mac Manga, so to not include such an iconic character probably was a matter of personal preference. Kinda like how I, if I had drawn my original Windows manga (the one I thought up way before I considered drawing my own OS-tans), I probably would've omitted all Windows-kuns except perhaps for Homeo-kun. Personal preference and all. -v-

TripOS? Not quite correct, but it matches the situation.
Actually TripOS was used only to enhance the AmigaOS with a keyboard-driven GUI and infact TripOS it is the parent of AmigaDOS, the command line interface of AmigaOS.
From TripOS come also the Filesystem of Amiga, and its methods to store files on removable media.
AmigaOS it is made of many modules, and TripOS based AmigaDOS it is just one piece of it all...

But as for as the Windows-tans go, even before we started adding mother figures left and right the original Troubled Windows artists depicted NT-tan as something of a mother figure. So while everyone is treated as brother and sisters, already there were disruptions to that flow.
We added more just because a lot of the other OS-tans besides Windows and Macs follow less-than-clear lineages. -v-
(Ever look at the UNIX family tree? ^^;)
Someone like OS/2-tan is probably much more of a stepsister to the Windows-tans, even though she rightfully hates their guts. -v-'

QuoteI always thought that all the windows-tans where brother and sisters and the same with apple-tans.
That's how a lot of people view it. I like the more complicated view where some are mothers, cousins, sisters, etc. Because, honestly, I can't see how the Windows NT based OS-tans (the XP-tans, 2k-tan) are even related to the non-NT OS-tans. NT-tan, as C-Chan said, is one of the few OS-tans depicted as a mother.
QuoteAnd I always like to think of lindows being a step sister to windows.
You know, when I first found out about OS-tans and started researching them, I thought Lindows-tan would be some sort of Windows-kun/Linux-tan child ;140 Now it seems she's more of a Windows wannabe ;)
QuoteAh... Now I just remember about MacOS X...
I really do wonder who the OS X's momma is...I mean, the OS X-tans are about as closely related to the classic Macs as NT-tan is related to Windows 1.0-tan (IE: Not that close). Maybe BSD-tan or someone is the mother...?
QuoteI really do wonder who the OS X's momma is ...Maybe BSD-tan or someone is the mother...?
It would be NeXTSTEP and Darwin. Yes I am aware that both are BSD derived, but they would be mandatory mediaries. I could have sworn we'd been over this before! ^-^
Hummmmmmm I don't know enough about osx to answer that.
I wonder how big the solaris family is I know at the moment solaris 10 is the newest version but is there like windows many different category's like severs, and business editions?
QuoteIt would be NeXTSTEP and Darwin. Yes I am aware that both are BSD derived, but they would be mandatory mediaries. I could have sworn we'd been over this before! ^-^
XD
NeXTSTEP and Darwin? OS X has two mommies ;) I thought they were more like cousins to OS X, though.
Oh, if only the OS X's family tree was easy to trace like the XP's (VMS-sama>NT-san>XP-tans! Yipee!)
QuoteI wonder how big the solaris family is I know at the moment solaris 10 is the newest version but is there like windows many different category's like severs, and business editions?
I really don't know much about Solaris, but I think that there'd only be one Solaris-tan at the moment...I believe the only time split characters are made from a certain OS are, like you said, in the case of Windows XP and (hopefully) Vista, where several different editions are made of the same base OS (Like XP Pro, Home, Media Center, etc.)
I think that Deja Vu artworks got in trouble when they tried to make a NT 4.0-tan (I think?), but that's a whole other story...
I've thought of NeXTSTEP-tan as a godmother to OSX-tan. Still not sure about Darwin-tan though.
Then there's the Linux-tans. The way I kind of see it is like a family tree:
Linux (kernel)-sama, is the mother of the early distros, like Softlanding Linux System-tan, Gentoo-tan, Red Hat-tan and maybe a few others (Like Mini Linux-tan...)
Take the first daughter. Softlanding Linux System-tan would be the mother of Slackware-tan, who's the mom of Damn Small Linux, Zenwalk, etc.
Softlanding Linux System-tan would also be the mother of Debian-tan, who in turn is the mother of the Ubuntu family, as well as Knoppix-tan, and all the other Debian based OSs.
I guess someone like Red Hat-tan's legacy might be Mandriva>PCLinuxOS>SAMLinux just for example.
This is all just speculation, though.
And how would a (theoretical) BASH-tan relate to Linux-sama and/or the Mac family...?
Wow,... how could I have missed the action on this thread..... ^___^;
I'll be back later to offer my â,¬0.02, but BASH-tan was perhaps the only other App-tan I actually thought of working with.
Not related by bloodline to any faction, she originally apprenticed under the Unix Family Central Command division and was sent to monitor and "consult" with the early Linuces in matters of POSIX compliance. (With those early crazy Unices, you could never tell if they wanted to "consult" with you or "spy" on you... ^___^')
But so moved was she by the pure unhindered GNU spirit (enough to renew faith in her own humble roots, that she decided to pledge herself unconditionally to the Linuces, and help spread the doctrine of freedom and self-empowerment. With enough energy to run a small city, she's always running back and forth assisting the Linux-tans in any way imaginable, with enough to spare for other OS-tans requiring a Unix shell. She's also there to scold (or bash... ¬__¬) any one doubting or abusing the GNU spirit, which often earns her the nickname "Commissar". On the other hand, she's very prompt and professional when nursing the injured or defeated -- when all hope is lost, you can count on her to offer a command string of encouragement. ^___^
Physically she's very DOS-tan-like (perhaps just shy taller), and even though this might sound like plagiarism off of Maki from 'Seto no Hanayome', I actually thought (long before I heard of that Anime) that BASH-tan would also co-personify a hermit crab (cause she always carries a giant shell around with her). Her favorite clothes would be in black, her weapon of choice would be a hammer, and her speech and mannerisms are proud and bombastic. ^^
Nice posting, but Bash-tan also helps many other unices. She helps HURD-tan, the BSDs... hell, she sometimes even does something for our behated windows-tans.
She sounds like a very well developed character :)
Lol, you're right Bella :P

I was wondering....
If DRDOS-tan is MSDOS-tan's mother, would that also mean DRDOS-tan is Windows 1.0-tan's mom...?
Cause win1.0 was based on MSDOS...
I disagree. MS-DOS is based off of QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System, known more commonly as 86-DOS). It was coded by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products, who sold it to Billy Gates, who licensed it to IBM for the IBM PC. It was also modified into PC-DOS for the IBM PC. Tim Paterson copied QDOS from CP/M, the brainchild of Gary Kildall, one of the pioneers of the computer revolution. In the end, the family tree looks more like this:
(DR) CP/M-tan
|
(SCP) QDOS-tan
|
|-----------------------|
(IBM) PC-DOS-tan (MS) MS-DOS-tan

(IBM) OS/2 Most MS products, ending with Me-tan

Heehee, okay that makes more sense.
That also makes me wonder where VMS-san came from (must be some DEC mainframe OS or something...?) and what about Linux-sama?
I always thought Unix-sama just kinda mystically appeared, a gift from the gods (mainframes).
The emerge of UNIX (or, as it was then, UNICS) is before my time by ages, as well as before the time of the empress. All i have to say is that it was at least not a gift from her, and I leave you, older and more experienced (and also hopefully with slightly less digital abstinence) users to that discussion. *trots off in swashbuckler pants*

QuoteAs long as we're pondering origins, where do any of the OS-tans come from?
Heh. I'm still at home as it's too stormy to go on the road for now...
I think (most?) everyone can somehow trace back to Unix-sama. It's pretty easy to see with the Unixes, Linuxes, BSDs, Mac OS Xs, etc...
I just wonder how the DOS-tans, older Windows-tans and older Mac-tans would trace back (maybe like C-Chan said they just "emerged")...and like said before, the Windows NTs would be descended from VMS-san...

To any replying to his post, I plead that you will be civil and intellectual. Be curious of others opinions, and please avoid flaming.
That said, I think you all know my opinion on the matter ^^'
Kudos to you! Although I think it should be a rule here though...
I don't think there is anything "better". Since I mentioned "Counter-culture" in the other thread, there are a lot of OSes for people to choose from nowadays. That is depending either primary needs
or more at ease, innovative and interactive from the interface
or even gives you exposure outside the interface which you can partake its whole commands and actions.
Quote from: "C-Chan"
She's also there to scold (or bash... ¬__¬) any one doubting or abusing the GNU spirit, which often earns her the nickname "Commissar". On the other hand, she's very prompt and professional when nursing the injured or defeated -- when all hope is lost, you can count on her to offer a command string of encouragement. ^___^
... and that would represent her script debugging into the Unix shell ^_^
Quote... and that would represent her script debugging into the Unix shell
Ya know what I'm all about, dude. ¯v¯
In fairness to Neji-san, at least he remembers that UNIX-sama's maiden name is UNICS, so that deserves some wildly-hyperinflated C-chan points. ^.^
Beleive it or not, there was still plenty of life before UNIX-sama; though not a direct mother in the traditional sense, she can trace her roots back to MULTICS.
I consider the EXEC line to be the first true OS in the modern sense, although since there's already an undefined distinction between hardware and software in those ancient, paleolithic systems, you can make the claim that the ancestral "OS-tans" may have been Zuse-sama, Atanasoff-Berry-sama, Colossus-sama, HM1-sama, ENIAC-sama, and the like....
So many complicated bloodlines O__O
I guess what makes Unix-sama special is that she's outlasted all of them (or most of them).
This question relates to OS/2, NT, and Windows 1.0's backgrounds, as mapped out in the Annex:
How can NT-tan and OS/2-tan be full sisters, since NT is VMS-san's daughter/clone?
Are OS/2-tan (and NT-tan for that matter) and Win 1.0-tan half sisters? Are they the "aunts" of the Win 1.0-tan, non-NT Win-tans, or their half/full sisters?
And was VMS-san a "created" OS-tan, or does she have a "bloodline" going back farther than her?
And, unrelated, but does Linux-sama have any heritage behind her (or is she a created one, too?)
Or do I think too much...?
Oooh,... haven't thought about this in a LOOOONG while, so forgive me if the cogwheels of my brain are a little slow to spin. ^^;

I was a bit misinformed at the time about the exact specifics, but regardless the point does stand that OS/2-tan and NT-tan do share some "genetic" tie. The irony therefore is that, even though the NT-line has been raised to treat their classic Windows sisters as "real sisters", they are not actually related by blood (with the possible exception of ME-tan) and are technically half-sisters. Problem also is that they don't know that (with the possible exception of 2K-tan who's intelligent, or 3.1-sama, who's old enough to remember the old family structure), so a lot of energy is expended to keep the Windows-tans isolated from some very painful truths.
Perhaps I figured "full sister" since the contribution of OS/2 code into NT was nowhere near as much or as useful as that from VMS. Also, each Windows upgrade takes code from the previous version and improves upon it, hence making them more "daughters" rather than sisters, and yet we conceive of the entire canon Windows line-up as "sisters" (except NT-san).
However, if you do want to be literal, a sister can't come from a sister, so I leave it up to you to stomach the clearly more unnerving relationship between NT-tan and OS/2-tan. ^___^;
Suddenly the Windows house is starting to look more and more like the set of the original Tenchi Muyo OVA.... ^^;
QuoteAnd was VMS-san a "created" OS-tan, or does she have a "bloodline" going back farther than her?
RSX-sama is technically NT-san's grandmother, if that's what you're wondering. ^___^
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSX-11
VMS-san carries with her the proud tradition of the PDP Family, which introduced mini-computing to a new generation of student and engineers back in the 60's and 70's, lead by such venerable and ancient OS-tans like OS/8-sama and TOPS-sama (currently living with the Binteji Renmei, I might add). ^__^
VMS-san is often described as UNIX-like, but that's just it she's "like" UNIX and is compliant with her in some ways. But they're definitely not related, and, for many years, were in fact mortal enemies.
QuoteAnd, unrelated, but does Linux-sama have any heritage behind her (or is she a created one, too?)
She has Minix-sensi, but that's about it. She's essentially an orphan, raised by Minix-sensei and then let out into the "wild" to make a living for herself. It was particularly frightening for her at first, but those early years were pivotal in giving her the strength to make her the powerful and influential figure she was today.
I recall that Rome was built by two very famous orphans as well, who coincidentally were also raised by an animal (a wolf rather than a racoon, but close enough). ^^
QuoteOr do I think too much...?
There's no such thing. ^.^

*Cackles evilly and steals info*
I will now use this to make a RSX11-tan!
I have no idea what she'd look/act like...I think that she'd have white/silver hair, carry a sword (being the inspiration for VMS-san to do so), wear glasses, have a very independent mindset like VMS-san but maybe a little less "radical".
And somehow I see her dressing a bit Unix-like (IE, formal and all...)

Fufufu... I'm glad. ^__^
UNIX-sama and RSX-sama are about the same age, so she should be pretty wise herself (even if she didn't have as much exposure to the world as her more successful rival). ^.^
The older PDP members are definitely MUCH older and significantly more laid back, and prone to ramble on and on about the good ol' days, as well as the "kids these days". ^v^
They'd be one of the few surviving OS-tans in this world who can still call UNIX-sama "UNIX-tan" with impunity. ^.^

Added after 4 minutes: Oh, yeah I almost forgot, do you suppose Windows 2.0-chan was exiled before Windows 1.0? Because, if you think about it, 1.0 "started" the Windows family and she may have been around to live with 3.1 or even 95....

QuoteNow THAT'D make for an awesome backstory....heehee...
Or soap opera potential, in any event.
I imagine the majority of the Windows-tans as being quite cloistered, and may not be able to handle all the truths hidden from them or the actions done in their name. In the unlikely event that the M$ dynasty should collapse, it would be particularly devastating to them to be immersed in a harsh and hostile world that they never previously had the misfortune of living in.

I didn't make eComStation a daughter of OS/2 (or did I...? ^____^), and the Mac-tans I still consider "sisters" to the original Apple computer line (I make brief mention of this at the wiki).

Well I do hate to sound authoritative, especially considering I'll likely never write this, nor does this exist outside of my head. But I once outlined a rather depressing manga that begins in the present day with Windows 1.0-tan waking up Amiga-tan in the dead of night.
1.0-san doesn't say a thing, but her expression is enough to let Amiga know what's happening. She gets dressed and runs outside in the moonlit pasture, until she hears 2.0-chan gasping, crying and convulsing near a creek. Amiga doesn't panic as this is something of a monthly occurrence -- she bends down, administers the medicine, then holds 2.0-chan tight, mumbling comforting words. She does this holding back her own tears, as the near-sleepwalking 2.0-chan keeps begging to be put out of her misery. As her air passages clear up, her begging turns into loud raving, screaming and viscious kicking and convulsions that test even Amiga's own physical strength, all of which dies down at the very climax, once she somehow awakens but is burdened with an extreme exhaustion. She quietly apologizes and thanks Amiga-san before sleeping in her arms, then drifting off back to memories of her past.
The timeline of which would've been as follows:
1987 - we don't actually see her birth, but rather start off with a scene of her walking along an old classic-era boardwalk (filled with 1980's icons), happily carrying a small bag of cement. She then meets off with a young OS/2-tan who loves to ruffle her hair, and later with the two DOS sisters. Before they head home, they go off to fish for a very civil, Musical-style face-off (think Grease or West Side Story) with the local Mac Gang, but Xenix-san comes in to interject and takes the little troublemakers back "home" (more like to base). There they have a very pleasant dinner prepared by Xenix with help from 1.0-san, but as usual Father is not there to eat with them.
1988 - Probably some quiet moments with her and OS/2-neechan. OS/2-tan then was a bit cheeky and overly-proud, but she cared a lot for her younger stepsister. Both of them exhange promises to look after one another, and always be together to the end.
1989 - During an early morning, "Father" shares with Xenix-san his great joy at the near-birth of 3.0-tan. However, as the conversation advances, Father begins to discuss the issue of loyalty, and ultimately asks if Xenix-san is someone he can count on for unquestionable loyalty, to which Xenix-san proudly responds in the affirmative. But then he asks her to conduct something quite shocking, to which she regrettfully declines and agrees to resign herself from her position immediately. Only OS/2-tan is awake to see her leave, but gets barely one or two words out of Xenix-san before she's escorted out by IBM/M$ security. Later the kids are told that Xenix-san wanted to retire early, but OS/2-tan confides to 2.0-chan her concerns.
Early 1990 - Not long after, 3.0-chan is born and any lingering fear or doubt by 2.0-chan is dispelled by her energetic and bubbly little sister. Suddenly she becomes the "OS/2-neechan" and accompanies 3.0-chan in every single activity. The DOS sisters try to pitch in, but they're not physically fit enough to keep up with so much energy. OS/2-tan also wants to join them, but is mysteriously put into a near excessive training hours by Father, presumably to get her ready for her "release".
Mid 1990 - A quick brawl with a local gang ends with 3.0-appearing and vanquishing them all with a mysterious new power. 2.0-chan and the DOS sisters are amazed, but OS/2-tan turns bitter as she recognizes it as a technique she was promised to be taught when she grew older. Later that evening, she protests with Father, and after being effectively chided and scolded by him, she storms off to take her case with the IBM Board (which look a lot like those cubes from EvangelioN). They too silence her, after which she begins to grow cynical and conspiratory.
Mid-to-Late 1990 - Father and the IBM Board have an Evangelion-style meeting, where they bring up their own observations of his recent conduct. It is here where he explains his actions and begins to broker a deal,the details of which are never shown.
Late 1990 - 2.0-chan is suddenly awakened one morning by a smiling 3.0-chan, informing her of Father's decision to leave the Base. 2.0-chan rushes to find the corridors swarming with M$ employees leaving and taking their belongings with them. She watches with horror as MSDOS and PCDOS are taken kicking and screaming in opoosite directions of eachother, but chooses instead to run off in search of OS/2-neechan. Before she gets pulled back by security, she watches some security personnel wrestle with 1.0-san holding desperately to OS/2-neechan, but ultimately giving way to the superior strength. OS/2 spots 2.0-chan and screams out some hurried and desperate things that sound like warnings or instructions, but 2.0-chan is taken out of earshot range before she could hear it all. On the ride to their new home, 2.0-chan and MSDOS-chan are holding onto eachother whimpering and crying, still not sure what's happening and whether this was all some horrible dream. 1.0-san only looks out the window in sadness, but 3.0-chan is in another car alongside Father, smiling, laughing and completely captivated by something he's saying.
This actually took longer than I thought, so I'll finish the rest tomorrow. -v-
But it's story notes like this that I'd like to find a home in at the Wiki -- obviously better fleshed out and detailed. That way, we can at least record ideas whenever drawings are lacking.
I have a strange question:
Who is the mother of the Mac-tans? (and for that matter, the other Apple-tans?) I mean, Apple I-tan is considered the mother of all the Apple-tans but she died a long time ago only when her daughters Apple II-tan and Lisa-tan were around.
And this being my 1000th post, time for me to say Hasta la vista... Vista! :D

To use a NejinOniwa phrase...Oh Shi...
2.0-chan makes VMS-san's problems, (ya know, having her DNA stolen and shaped into a little near-doppleganger of her, even down to the training as a swordsman, and then become a fringe-shark-obsessed-cleaver-wielding-madwoman, not to mention always being picked on by a real Unix stepsister) seem like tiny potatoes!
She's manically delicious!

Like C-Chan said, it's tough to tell, but I might suggest Mac System 1 for all (or most of) the systems up to 9...
And I think her mother would be Lisa-san, or if you'd prefer keeping all the Mac-tans a sister group, maybe Lisa would be their mother, instead ( cause honestly I'm not sure I see System 1-chan as being a motherly type ;) )

Oh, now that you reminded me.... ^^
I forgot to include the scene shortly before OS/2-tan's explusion, where she walks a long corridor and encounters a very p*ssed off VMS-san storming out of some doors yelling threats and admonishments. The young OS/2-chan cowers under the glare of the older woman as she simply passes by her doing little more than stare in silence.
The basic emphasis of the manga at this stage is to illustrate from their perspectives that something is definitely going wrong, but they're neither learned nor powerful enough to know what it is (it would take them many years before they both found out the truth).
As far as suffering goes, it's really hard to say, just because VMS-sama would GO through a lot from that very moment in time I just mentioned. Amiga-tan has and continues to go through ton of hardships, same for Lisa-chan and PCDOS-chan. And don't forget UNIX-sama, who's seen quite a lot in her 40 years that would make even the strongest men curl up like a fetis in despair.
But 2.0-chan might be a special case cause she's exceptionally cute, hence undeserving of bad things. Makes me wonder if I should continue, given that it doesn't exactly get any better during the 90's. *.*
QuoteOMG I started laughing like a nutcase when I read this XD
Naturally, the fights among the big guns during that era (e.g., UNIX) were serious, but among the personal computers it was quite chivalrous (or in the case of these young'uns, quite theatric). This is one of the reasons why 2.0-chan simply couldn't adapt to such aggressive, violent, scorched-earth tactics that would become commonplace.
QuoteLike C-Chan said, it's tough to tell, but I might suggest Mac System 1 for all (or most of) the systems up to 9...
And I think her mother would be Lisa-san, or if you'd prefer keeping all the Mac-tans a sister group, maybe Lisa would be their mother, instead ( cause honestly I'm not sure I see System 1-chan as being a motherly type )
I agree. Admittedly, Win1.0-san is not exactly mature, yet I still can't picture Mac1.0-tan is the motherly type either. But who's to say we couldn't think of a decent explanation here and now. ^^

Hoohoo....
That'd be ironic that the two others most influential on NT-tan wouldn't even get along...

Like her family tearing each other to shreds?
Not to mention by all means she *should* have been dead long ago (in the OS age scale)
I think having so many OSs in her likeness gives her power. Cause if you think about it, all the Unixes, Linuxes, BSDs, Mac OS Xs, among others, all call themselves "like her"...something not before seen with other OS, at least not widespread (who's called Windows 98 "DOS[albeit with a GUI]-like" or NT "VMS-like"?)
I usually think of the lifespan of an OS-tan as being indicated by how well known they are, how lasting their influence is, and by how many people use them. Therefor, someone like XP-tan will live a very long life, whereas Xenix-san a short one...
I see the secret to Unix-sama's life as being something of a loophole, because (as far as I know) nobody uses Bell Labs' Unix anymore. But millions use her descendants, and the Unix/Unix-like link is perhaps the closest link between any one OS and it's descendants.
Perhaps without having so many looking up to her, keeping her beliefs and teachings alive for all these years, some even keeping her bloodline going, giving her a part of their energy, even if subconsciously, she would have been gone long ago...
QuoteBut 2.0-chan might be a special case cause she's exceptionally cute, hence undeserving of bad things. Makes me wonder if I should continue, given that it doesn't exactly get any better during the 90's. *.*
Ooooh...more to this tale of woe? I'm all ears...
I guess it's so interesting because most (if not all) OS-tans have, or will, be betrayed at some point, in one way or another...just the nature of their world, where sisters replace sisters, companies get rid of "children", and mentors can fast become enemies....
Have I revealed my presence as a drama queen yet...? Heehee...
QuoteWell I do hate to sound authoritative, especially considering I'll likely never write this, nor does this exist outside of my head
Sounds like me XD
I have some grandiose "plans" for spectacular SCO/Unixware/Linux-tan battle scenes (something about being the true heir of Unix...spoiler alert! It's not SCO Unix-tan!), sappy early Apple family and GEM and Apple Lisa comics, hilarious XP-tan vs. Vistan fights (where at the middle of the battle NT-san appears and convinces her daughters to cut it out...).
Doubt anyone will ever see anything, cause I have trouble staying focused on my comics for very long (although, I do have to say if any's likely to be made, it's the first one)...
QuoteHoohoo....
That'd be ironic that the two others most influential on NT-tan wouldn't even get along...
Probably a bad time to mention that I also had a manga for OS/2-sama in mind as well. This one, however, would be part of the Anti$oft Coalition series, so stories range from humorous to similarly dramatic. In one such humorous story, the entire gang is waiting to attack the Microsoft Family as their vacationing at beach. She waits until nightfall to unleash her attack, and indeed at the signal all members rush into the encampment firing their weapons blindly. OS/2-sama is naturally overjoyed (in a sick kind of way) and is envisioning her phaser vaporizing foes left and right.....
....And then she gets awakened by a very p*ssed off VMS-sama (with some hair frizzled by a stray phaser shot), who has one hand clasped at her neck, the other crushing her phaser. The other A$C members are similarly surrounded by very well-armed and very angry CIOST members. Realizing her mistake, OS/2-sama tries to crack a joke with her sort-of-rival
Meanwhile, on a beachfront some kilometers away, the Windows-tans are busy having fun, then stop to watch the beautiful fireworks display in the distance.
Or at least, they LOOK like fireworks..... ^^;
QuoteLike her family tearing each other to shreds?
Precisely. ^___^
Apart from destroying her family, the UNIX Wars also weakened the old dynasty enough to lose ground to the emergent M$ (on the server side, lead by your favorite NT-tan).
QuoteNot to mention by all means she *should* have been dead long ago (in the OS age scale)
She jokes about that quite a lot. The dark humor that she's developed over the years tends to make a lot of her subordinates uncomfortable. ^^;
QuoteI think having so many OSs in her likeness gives her power. Cause if you think about it, all the Unixes, Linuxes, BSDs, Mac OS Xs, among others, all call themselves "like her"...something not before seen with other OS, at least not widespread (who's called Windows 98 "DOS[albeit with a GUI]-like" or NT "VMS-like"?)
Well in the case of M$ products, they purposely avoided any relationship to DOS and VMS for marketing reasons. "Windows" certainly sounds a lot more refreshing and appealing than "OS/2", which sounds like a type of mouse device to anyone geeky enough to get the reference. ^_______^;
But it is true what they say in that children grants a person a kind of immortality.
QuoteI usually think of the lifespan of an OS-tan as being indicated by how well known they are, how lasting their influence is, and by how many people use them. Therefor, someone like XP-tan will live a very long life, whereas Xenix-san a short one...
Yep, that's exactly how I view it as well. ^___^
Likewise, open source OS-tans will live for much longer than anyone, since someone will always try to keep it or a variant of the OS alive. Proprietary OS-tans, however, are more at risk since they're essentially at the mercy of people who live off the Bottom Line.... -__-'
In Xenix-sama's case, she was both proprietary and not very well-liked either. However, she did have a daughter (albeit one that obviously needed a lot of love when she was younger... ^^;), so at least she had that going for her.
QuoteI see the secret to Unix-sama's life as being something of a loophole, because (as far as I know) nobody uses Bell Labs' Unix anymore. But millions use her descendants, and the Unix/Unix-like link is perhaps the closest link between any one OS and it's descendants.

You can actually use old pre-System III Unices and even look up their source code. I imagine a lot of hardcore specialists take old UNIX-sama for a spin to better get a handle of the legendary operating system, cause what better way to learn things than to go straight to the roots? ^v^
But yes, in my proposed storyline, UNIX-sama complains about not being able to "die" (again, dark humor) because her essence is imparted permanently in so many critical systems across the world. Hence, the REALLY big deal about finding a good successor who has the strength, wisdom and responsibility to take on such an Atlasian task. If it were something as simple and vain as a power grab or an exchange of crowns, she would've "raffled it" to one of her daughters years ago. ^v^;
QuoteOoooh...more to this tale of woe? I'm all ears...
I guess it's so interesting because most (if not all) OS-tans have, or will, be betrayed at some point, in one way or another...just the nature of their world, where sisters replace sisters, companies get rid of "children", and mentors can fast become enemies....
Have I revealed my presence as a drama queen yet...? Heehee...
You and me both (though I'd be the king).... ^___^'
If you like that stuff, then by all means stick by mean and I'll guarantee you a good bucketful of Weep. ^.^
UNIX-sama's case would be very special, however, as her story is extremely sad (especially her origin), yet simultaneously she makes it very difficult [intentionally] to make you feel sorry for her.
As for my so-called manga ideas, the most difficult part for me if I had created them would be the warring period of the 1990's (both on the UNIX side and the Windows one), simply because I probably wouldn't have refrained from making it less graphic than I envision it. After all, there's only a few thousands OSes, but there are millions of programs, files, viruses, services, hardware, etc., that could make up a viable population for such a storyline.
I usually don't picture 95-tan or NT-tan vanquishing the market all by themselves, but simply being elite generals commanding huge, technologically-advanced armies that do most of the dirty work (i guess a good analogy would be like Old Republic Jedis).
In any event, I still fancy the idea of creating humorous stories as well, especially those taking place in the modern era. And if you think I'm too Windows discriminatory, note that one of my first comic ideas would've paired Homeo and Palm-chan for some very,...... creative scenarios. ^^;
(big hint: hope you found that Easter Egg.... ^____^;)
QuoteSounds like me XD
I have some grandiose "plans" for spectacular SCO/Unixware/Linux-tan battle scenes (something about being the true heir of Unix...spoiler alert! It's not SCO Unix-tan!), sappy early Apple family and GEM and Apple Lisa comics, hilarious XP-tan vs. Vistan fights (where at the middle of the battle NT-san appears and convinces her daughters to cut it out...).
Doubt anyone will ever see anything, cause I have trouble staying focused on my comics for very long (although, I do have to say if any's likely to be made, it's the first one)...
Tell you what. ^__^
Once I get done with all this commission work, how about starting a collaboration in that respect?
It is true that creatin ga manga by yourself is tough, but between two or more people it becomes manageable. Plus we both think on the same wavelength as I'm seeing. ^__^
It'd just be a matter of developing a very time-efficient drawing style that's fast to draw but doesn't cut too much into quality. -v-
3.1-chan, Hacchan and 95-sama are made of epic win. *noddles*
Quote....And then she gets awakened by a very p*ssed off VMS-sama (with some hair frizzled by a stray phaser shot), who has one hand clasped at her neck, the other crushing her phaser. The other A$C members are similarly surrounded by very well-armed and very angry CIOST members. Realizing her mistake, OS/2-sama tries to crack a joke with her sort-of-rival
Meanwhile, on a beachfront some kilometers away, the Windows-tans are busy having fun, then stop to watch the beautiful fireworks display in the distance.
Whahaaha!!! Somehow I do see VMS-sama treating OS/2-san like a little punk XD
Especially when OS/2-san is trying to go after the Windows clan...NT-san included...and I think while VMS-sama consciously is disgusted by NT-san, she'll always have an odd little soft spot for her clone...
QuoteApart from destroying her family, the UNIX Wars also weakened the old dynasty enough to lose ground to the emergent M$ (on the server side, lead by your favorite NT-tan).
Bouya...? ;018
Not to mention those "damned Linuxes" and their open sourcery, eh?
QuoteShe jokes about that quite a lot. The dark humor that she's developed over the years tends to make a lot of her subordinates uncomfortable. ^^;
Darkly humorous, I like, I like ;006
QuoteIn Xenix-sama's case, she was both proprietary and not very well-liked either. However, she did have a daughter (albeit one that obviously needed a lot of love when she was younger... ^^, so at least she had that going for her.
Too bad M$ didn't have the foresight to hold onto Xenix and somehow integrate it into Windows....Oh, what could have been :..|

QuoteBouya...?

Well, I guess that might've been UNIX-sama's position on them in the past. It is true that she cursed the birth of Linux-tan and disinherited Minix-tan for a while for teaching her their ways. No doubt the first few years were spent trying to track down and destroy the "abomination" -- but once the UNIX wars reached a critical level and the whole family teared eachother apart, suddenly the meager young pioneer wasn't much of a concern anymore. And by the time she did turn into a threat, UNIX-sama was already a changed woman, now contemplating the possibility that salvation of the UNIX dynasty could indeed be external. Now they're both very cordial and academic friends, even if their ideologies are in complete polar opposites. Both are technically and scientifically-proficient, but UNIX-sama is still cold, calculating and cynical old-school capitalist, whereas Linux-sama is optimistic, moral, honest and more than willing to accept a socialistic world view.
Note, that doesn't mean that some of UNIX-sama's descendants don't think of the Linuces as fakes and imposters. ^^;

QuoteHmmm...never thought of it that way...
I didn't initially either, but given how [rightfully] powerful we made some of these new characters, I needed an explanation for HOW someone like 95-tan could've defeated them all. The answer lied in expanding the OS-tan world to imitiate to a degree the same socio-political mess of our own real-life world.
The UNIX-tans alone MAY have the power to eliminate the Windows-tans alone, but they alone couldn't defeat the huge armies of Microsoft (aka, lawyers, institutes, lobbyists, etc), nor could they hope to quell the millions upon billions of "people" living under the M$ jurisdiction (the M$ Gamers alone would make for very effective partisans and guerrilas... ^^;).
Now combine the UNIX-tans with their allegorical armies and people, and the size of which is STILL not enough to defeat the Windows-tans. Prhaps just barely enough to defend what's left of their territories from daily incursions (M$ on one side, CIOST in the other, trouble in the borderlands, rebel factions and infighting, etc).
Maybe it's because I've always been a big history buff, but I find it more interesting to view this imaginary world of ours in that context. ^^

"destroy the "abomination"" Just made me laugh...XD
And aside from Unix-sama disinheriting Minix-tan, would, at some point, Minix-tan have turned on Linux-san?
(cause of that whole microkernel vs. monolithic kernel argument, and don't some Minix fans say Linux copied Minix, and stole away users...)

Yeah, that would've been my favorite scene from the entire movie..... ^___________________^
But VMS-sama and OS/2-san aren't really that disparate in height, so it wouldn't have the same effect as her spanking another -tan/-kun that barely reaches up to her chest.... -.-

Naah, at least not in any mean-spirited way. I picture their relationship more as professor and student -- naturally they will have heated arguments and sometimes may not talk to one another for long periods of time, but underlying everything is a strong sense of respect. ^__^

SCO-chan is so desparate for money now, I may just let her sue me out of pity. A "Pity Lawsuit", I call it. ^^

I was reading about RT-11:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-11
And trying to figure out an OS-tan for it...
I'm just wondering, would she be, like, a descendant of OS/8 or TOPS-10
(http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s320/BellasOS-tans/untitled-12.jpg)
(I guess what I mostly wonder is what that purple line means...)
*heeeeeeeeeeeeeeave*
*hoooooooooooooooooe*
*heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeave* >V<
*collapses*
Oh fine, okay, you win XP girl.... -.-;
Let's see if we can give RT-11 a family. ^___^
*studies chart*
..........................................................You know,....
If you ever watched Vandread, you'd recognize the term "Ohma" and "Fahma", but oh well let's stick to something more down-to-earth. ^______^;
The dotted line generally means "influenced by" or has "components of". Given that TOPS-san is older, I would venture to guess that she tutored or adopted OS/8-tan. I also believe that RX-11-tan would be a direct descendant of TOPS-san, and perhaps only a younger [half]-sister to OS/8-tan.
I guess we could brainstorm more,.... you know where.... ^.^
Quote from: "C-Chan"..........................................................You know,....

Gueeh, that particular part of the series gave me a damn fright, stop being scary sempai!
Impossible, I am a very scary pig.... MWAHAHAHA!!!! \v/
But in fairness, though I like how the series began, it started to get on my nerves near the end. If not for Hibiki's rather............. unique......... "comparison"............................... to the female cast, I'd have stopped watching it long before Season 2. -v-;
Indeed...
...but let's get back on topic.
Kinda onto topic, we've all wondered who the mother of the OS X's are...
I dunno, I'm no Mac expert, but since Rhapsody server was in the works supposedly before Apple announced a home OS X, could Rhapsody-san be....?

AURORA, PLEASE COME TO THE SERVICE DESK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;^0^;
You called?
Hmm... Rhapsody-tan COULD be the mother of the OSX-tans. And maybe Darwin-tan's mother too as Darwin OS is based off of Rhapsody. And Rhapsody is based off of OPENSTEP which is based off of NeXTSTEP! (however I'm probably not going to make an OPENSTEP-tan, having it just be represented by NeXTSTEP-tan) Although it is pretty much agreed that NeXTSTEP-tan is the godmother of the OSX-tans but does that also apply to Rhapsody-tan?
I need help here too! ^^;
Nah, I think Rhapsody-tan is part of the direct lineage of OSX, so yeah she sounds like the best candidate for an OSX momma. ^___^'
It's just that,............. you know, with the whole roof thing and all (Aurora know what I mean... ^^),........... It'll just feel kinda funny, won't it? ^.^;
Then again, you did just upgrade her personality, so maybe that's part of the new and improved Rhapsody-san. ^.^
QuoteNah, I think Rhapsody-tan is part of the direct lineage of OSX, so yeah she sounds like the best candidate for an OSX momma. ^___^'
Cool! One less mystery of life to wear on my mind O__o
*thinks....now all I have to figure out is where the Big Bang came from, what's in that 1 billion light year-across void in the fabric of space, and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop...*
OSX's momma could have been one of the easier ones ;)
Quote(however I'm probably not going to make an OPENSTEP-tan, having it just be represented by NeXTSTEP-tan)
Maybe someday, if you don't mind, I'll make one (after all the other OS-tans I've talked about doing are done...XD)
QuoteAlthough it is pretty much agreed that NeXTSTEP-tan is the godmother of the OSX-tans but does that also apply to Rhapsody-tan?
Again, I don't know much about the OSX heritage, but maybe the perspective OPENSTEP-tan would be, like, the mother of Rhapsody-tan, and either daughter/sister/apprentice of NeXTSTEP-tan, who also trained the OSX's?
